He began his career with singing the roles of lyric tenor, eg Tamino in "Die Zauberflöte" and Lenski in "Eugen Onegin" and ended with big dramatic parts such as the title role in Verdi's "Othello" and Canio in "Pagliacci". He also performed in classical operettas in the roles of Count Zedlau in "Wiener blut", Barinkay in "Der Zigeunerbaron", Tassilo in "Gräfin Mariza" and others. Ivo Kuusk is also a professor of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. This aria of Edgardo from Act 3 of Donizetti's opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" is recorded at the Estonian National Opera in 1983.

La Donna e Mobile (Ocarina)A famous aria from Rigoletto, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. I actually recorded this a week ago (on the same night I recorded my Heidenröslein video), but my internet wasn't working, so I was unable to upload it until now. I've got one other video recorded as well, which I'll probably upload tomorrow. Performed on a Fabio Menaglio Sol 2 (soprano G). Recorded on a Flip UltraHD camcorder and a Zoom H2 audio recorder. Reverb was added.

Cecilia Bartoli - Una Donna A Quindici AnniThe celebrated Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli at the very beginning of her successful career in 1990. Here she sings Despina's aria Una Donna A Quindici Anni from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1790 opera Così Fan Tutte (K 588). Orchestra of Teatro Mercadante di Napoli is conduced by Salvatore Accardo. Video taken from Italian TV Rai Uno. A consummate actress as well as an amazing singer, it was only a matter of time when Bartoli would be catapulted into stardom. So far she has sold more than six million CD-s, a feat rarely achieved by a classical musician who has never made a compromise of going into crossover. An artist of great instinct, she has managed to bring lesser known works by composers such as Vivaldi, Salieri and Haydn to the attention of a broader public. Subscribe! Subscribe! Subscribe! :)
